As early as the week of April 20, 2020, crews will start construction activities for the project to install the natural gas line along State Highway 119. The work will take place in Gilpin County along State Highway 119 between South Beaver Creek Road and the northern Gilpin County line. Traffic flaggers and other traffic control measures will be in place as needed during these activities. No full road closures or extended detours are anticipated during these activities. 

We continue to haul and receive materials and complete other construction-related activities in support of this year’s major construction activities. These materials will be stored at temporary use areas located near the anticipated project route.

Final roadway restoration efforts in Dory Hill Road will take place in summer 2020. When these efforts take place, the project team will add roadbase to Dory Hill Road when weather and moisture conditions allow. These efforts will take place in accordance with Gilpin County permit requirements. We will coordinate with Gilpin County Public Works to perform restoration efforts and communicate with the public prior to starting restoration.  

We will be also be coordinating with CDOT regarding road restoration, including chip seal remediation, within State Highway 119. Following completion of construction, the crews will work directly with CDOT to determine the course of action to repair areas where construction has affected the roadway.
